The Hermitage

Overview of The Hermitage

The Hermitage sits on Brick Farm Road in Sylva, North Carolina, and holds licensure for assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Its Walk Score of 55 puts the neighborhood in moderately walkable territory, which means some errands can be handled on foot with a mix of amenities within reach. This is a larger shared building rather than a small residential home, with common spaces and organized community services.

Ninety beds are licensed here, and 71% of them are filled. Openings exist for families searching on a short timeline. Building size also shapes what the community can sustain, since larger settings generally support more common area and a wider slate of organized activity.

Nursing services and 24-hour staffing mean coverage does not lapse overnight. Respite care handles short stays, which suits families bridging a caregiver’s recovery or absence. Memory care operating under the same roof as assisted living gives residents a path forward if cognitive needs shift, without a move to another address. A secured perimeter and emergency alert system round out the safety setup.

Medicaid is accepted here, and that single fact reshapes the affordability math for many families weighing long-term options.

Regulatory attention at the community has centered on infection prevention and control, fire-safety systems, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, and fall and injury prevention. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services conducts unannounced surveys covering these areas across adult care homes.

What the record shows is a mid-sized Sylva community with continuous staffing, a Medicaid coverage pathway, and three care types under one license.
